The Pakistan vs South Africa 3rd ODI at Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad, on November 8, 2025, is a thrilling series decider with the series tied 1-1. Pakistan won the first ODI narrowly, while South Africa dominated the second, led by Quinton de Kock’s unbeaten 123 and a strong bowling performance by Nandre Burger.
Pakistan looks to bounce back from their second ODI defeat by tightening their bowling, where only Mohammad Wasim Jr. and Faheem Ashraf took wickets last time. Fakhar Zaman, dismissed for a duck in the second match, along with Babar Azam—yet to find form in this series—will be crucial with the bat.
South Africa enters the decider with confidence from their 2nd ODI win. Their young pace trio, especially Nandre Burger and Nqaba Peter, have been effective in applying pressure and taking wickets. The batting line-up revolving around Quinton de Kock, Tony de Zorzi, and Matthew Breetzke is key to building a strong innings.
The pitch at Iqbal Stadium is expected to offer a fair contest between bat and ball, with an average first innings total projected around 265 to 275 runs.
Toss outcomes and Powerplay performances will be vital, as teams look to set or chase competitive totals with strong starts.
